As Spain advances to face Belgium in the quarterfinals, Morocco's football federation president Fouzi Lekjaa has already fired the first salvo. The Moroccan official made pointed remarks about Spain's young star Lamine Yamal, saying 'I don't know any Spanish person named Jamel' - a clear reference to the player's full name.
The comments come as Morocco and Spain could potentially meet in the semifinals if both teams continue their World Cup campaigns. Yamal, who chose to represent Spain despite having Moroccan heritage, has become a target for criticism from Moroccan officials. ipl-cricket.in
